TEA20 and 65 isn't it? The 65 would be pretty useful, though probably to big for small blocks of land.

He thinks a TE20, if not it's a FE35.
He thinks the bigger one is an MF150.
 
Yes! grey fergi, I was thinking 165 not 65 .... it looks the same in pictures as the 150 (I've never heard of that model before, I know hardly anything about tractors)

I went for a drive out to Crows Nest today and had a look at the Historical Village while I was there. Not a lot for a car nut, but probably still worth stopping for a look if you were already passing through.

Other than a mis-shaped front bumper this Austin Lancer was a very nice car.

I forgot how big an Austin A70 is, particularly in height, more like an SUV. Very nice car.

1976 264 Volvo would have benefited from a cut and polish, but a nice original car. '76 was the first year in Aus for the V6 Volvo with its Douvrin engine that was shared with Renault and Peugeot.

assed this place the Sunday before last on a motorbike ride and thoght I'd check it out when it was open. It's in a little town called Nobby.

The guy running the place is a bit of a car nut, so thankfully tries to save things from going to the shredder.
He likes Jowett Bradfords, there's a ute on the office roof and a van out the back. He also said he had another 4 Bradford vans at his house.

This is a 1952 AEC, it has a Leyland Hippo engine, and a pretty rare (for the time) sleeper cab. Other than some missing glass it's remarkably straiģht and complete.

Ford Blitz, SWB, single wheel, 4x4s aren't that common in these. The side valve V8 looks to be 100% complete and I could turn it over with the fan.

An old Case, and an old Fordson tractor, both running steel wheels.

I Can't seem to contact you privately & my photos are too big to send. (I'll have to sort out tomorrow). I have several Bradfords myself in Southern NSW. Cheers, Peter

I think it is because you are a new member, one of the moderators might sort that out.
You have to reduce the file size to post photos.
I usually just text them to myself and then save them to a file, the phone automatically reduces the file size

You would have seen the woody wagon one for sale a while back in NSW?
There's also a yellow van for sale in Victoria at the moment.

@allmarques
My bad, the yellow one is in WA not Vic.

Wonder if your mate got the one (grey Ute) in Darwin - He's closer then me... I see he got the cream van from Melbourne. That's a unique car & a very interesting history, I have photos/video with the original owner.

He's not really my mate, we both happened to like old crap and ended up having a good yarn.🤷‍♂️
The van came from a museum, not sure about the ute? He also had a Bradford display engine in the shed and, IIRC, another four vans at his house?
If you Google "The Nobby Shed" it will come straiģht up.
